Republican lawmakers, including some of the president’s strongest allies on Capitol Hill, blasted Donald Trump for waiving new tariffs and sanctions on Russia, prompting the president to defend himself against members of his own party.
 
House Speaker Mike Johnson, in a rare sign of disagreement with Trump, said Sunday he asked for consultations with the White House, citing Russian President Vladimir Putin as someone who “cannot be trusted.”

GOP critics said Trump’s decision trampled on the will of Congress, which overwhelmingly passed a sanctions law last month championed by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, and would aid Moscow’s war effort against Ukraine.
